Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) Technology. FCoE provides an
opportunity to reduce data center costs by converging data and storage
networking. Standard TCP/IP and Fibre Channel traffic can both run
on the same high speed 10Gbps Ethernet wire, resulting in cost savings
through reduced adapter, switch, cabling, power, cooling, and management
requirements. FCoE has gained rapid market traction because it delivers
excellent performance, reduces data center TCO, and protects current data
center investment.
High Performance. The QLE8042 CNA provides superior data and networking
storage performance at 10Gbps speeds, which benefits bandwidth hungry
applications. This performance also enables increased levels of server
virtualization, as multicore servers running dozens of virtual machine
OS images will need the cutting edge 10Gbps bandwidth to prevent I/O
starvation.
Lower TCO. The QLE8042 reduces data center costs through convergence.
Now, one CNA can do the work of a discrete FC Host Bus Adapter (HBA) and
Ethernet NIC. This convergence also means fewer cables, fewer switches,
less power consumption, reduced cooling, and easier management. The
QLE8042 also preserves familiar FC concepts such as WWNs, FC-IDs, LUN
masking, and zoning, thereby eliminating training costs that would be
required for a new storage technology.
Investment Protection. The QLE8042 and FCoE are designed to preserve
existing investment in Fibre Channel storage and core Ethernet switches
and routers for data networking. The QLE8042 leverages the same identical
software and driver stacks that have been deployed and battle-hardened in
millions of previous installations.
Leading CNA Vendor. QLogic has an unparalleled advantage in delivering this
new CNA technology. QLogic is the undisputed leader in both FC and iSCSI
HBAs, with years of experience providing FC and Ethernet based products.
While some competitors have expertise in either networking or storage, no
other I/O provider can match QLogic’s expertise in FC and Ethernet hardware
and software solutions.
